The Inventor of the Circular Saw.

The inventor of the circular saw now in
use was Benjamin Cumming and in a
lonely, secluded spot in the northwest cor
ner of the cemetery near the little village
of Richmond, Kalamazoo county, Mich,
the visitor will find on a white marble slab,
nearly concealed from view by a large
cluster of lilac bushes, engraved the sim
pie inscription Benjamin Cummings
born 1772 died A. d. 1S43' Nearly sixty
years ago, at Burtonsyille, n. Y, and Am
sterdam, this man hammered out at his
own blacksmith's anvil the first circular
saw known tc mankind. He was noted
pioneer in Richmond; first cousin of one
of the Presidents of the United States a
slave owner i'll New York State; vessel
owner on the North river before the DAYS
of steamboats, a captain in the war of 1912,
where after having three horses shot from
under him, with one stroke of his sword
he brought his superior officer to the
ground for insult, and because he was
traitor and a coward and after being
court martialed, instead of being shot, he
was appointed Colonel in his place. The
same man. neary seventy years ago, at Al
bany, n. Y, took up and moved buildings;
and, to the wonder and establishment of
the world, constructed a mile and half of
the Erie canal through a solid bed of rock,
and he also built the first low bridges over
the same. He also aided in the construc-
ton of the first ten miles OF railway in the
United States and founded both the vii
lagos of Esperance and Bostonville on the
old Schobarie, near Amsterdam. - lSdlC

Persians and Their Health.

The Persians have one failing SUBJ

health, The pleasure of talking about the
weather is denied to them; for, as eleven
months out of the twelve are fine in Persia,
the subject does not present sufficient va

at Shirsz there lived an old Swede who had
walked into Persia in his youth. He knew
nothing of medicine on his arrival, but find

advice, he bought few medical books and

A Bogus soepter that Napoleon Held

A curious anecdote was told by NJ. Ger
main Baptist at the last lecture given in
the hall of the Union Central des
Arts Decoratifs, Place DIES Vosges. In a
review of the history of French goldsmiths'
work he dispelled one of the illusions
which have been handed down to us for
generations. Many of our readers are
aware that in the Galerie dApollon at the
Louvre, is an article known as Charlie
magnes scepter. This, according to NJ.
Baptist, is simply precentor's wand. On
the occasion of his coronation Napoleon l.
manifested wish to hold the scepter
welded by the ancient Emperor of the
West. Orders were given that the red vel
vet which covered the baton should be
changed Judge of the surprise of the Jew
eler to whom this work was Entrusted
when he discovered on the face of the
metal laid bare the following inscription :
. This baton belongs to me, X, pre-
centor at Notre Dame, 1882 He imme-
diately communicated with Ducroc Grand
Marshal at the Palace :" We must ia
form his Majesty of the fact" said the be-
wildered tradesman. BE sure that Won
don't" replied Duroc. Cover up the
baton with velvet as quickly as possible,
and say nothing about it TO anybody. 1t
is absolutely necessary that the Emperor
should die with the conviction that be held
the scepter of Charlemagne whilst being
crowned" III. Baptist holds that the nu-
merous swords and crowns with which the
name of Charlemagne is associated are no
more genuine than this famous scepter or
baton. But who, we may ask, was q Y p

EHe Negro and the Public
school.

Mr.. EDITOR:-We the supporters of
the public schools are net satisfied with
the present plan Of equalizing the facili-
ties between the races. We think there
sbould be but one schoolhouse for the
whites, and hut one for the negroes, to
each district. The district should be
made smaller so each child could attend.
Wn further contend that each race should
educate their own children. Look at the
school report Of our county. 1t would
bling blush ofshane to the cheek of the
most degraded wretch in the United
States. The negroes receive two dollars.
and the whites one. Yet the white man S
property IS taxed to pay it. Every dol
lar Of this extra money comes out of the
whites and much more. We think each
somty should be invested with the power
to cQuaiize according to the demands.
The result of the present system gave the
negroes good schoolhcuses. While We
find the white children hurdlcd in cabins
not fit fer dog novels. We ask is this
right? let reason and common sense ans
swer Think for moment OF the con-
tiuual howis of the politicians, and polt-
ical newspapers in regard to educating
.he negroes. Bat we never hear one
word about the poor whites. These
fanatics have forgotten their own race.
How Is it the negroes have become so
much better than the whites. MI. Grady

degradation of our own race. If we con-
